And Mr. Swallow did gn mad, but ho had a method in his madness, for ho seized the cheap est article ofdelf that was on the table?, (an old plate w ith n crack in it.) and clashed it into a thousand pieces on the hearth, as if he was in a tremendous passion. 'How do yon like that, Mrs. Swallow !' 'Vastly, Mr. Swallow try it again.' And again he try it, (for he became despe rate,) and demolished the cream jug. 'Now,' s nil the lady, ' 'tis my turn,' and jump ing up she sent the slop bowl to keep company with its tea table companions. This of coorso was to much for Solomon ; it snapped asunder the last remaining chord of the littlo reason he had left, and hu slapped his . miitf- (we use the word in its most positive terms ) on her right cheek ; but scarcely had the echo of the blow melted into silence, ere tho indignant dame seized the teapot, and shivered it into atoms against the head of the devoted Mr. Swallow; nor was this all, for, as he was rolling heels over head from the effect of the awful collision, she pelted him with the remain dcr of the t.'a traps until there was scarcoly a asked, "Will you please, Mr. Mifilin, to in bone in his body that had not echoed to the form me on what principle you are opposed to shock of cups and saucers and rounds of buttered j the revolution!'

His good lady, too, be ing determined to follow the example of her lord and master in other matters beside delf breaking, placed a chair back to back with So lomon's, and after providing herself with a no vel, eat herself down and began reading away as if there was no such thing as beds to make or stockings to menu in all Christendom. Here the nllectinnate couple sat for six mor tal hours, each bent upon scttmgtho other down and ruminating the while upon their respective p sitions. I nt it must be confessed that Mrs. Swallow had the best of the bargain, for, inde pendent o' Siilom'ju's nuuyk'd head, parboiled neck and shoulders, he saw plain as mud that the watch dial and the crockery must be repla- I ced ; so that the reducing of the first chapter of j bis voluminous system in practice must be at tended with an outlay of at least twenty dollars.

WnshliiKlms anil Ilia Quakers. I cannot forbear quoting, from the life of Washington, a characteristic incident. The battle ot fierm.-intown was fought on the day of the Yearly Meeting of the Quaker in Pliil.i delphia ; and during the battlu they were en gaged iu praying for Divine protection to tho people, and in preparing to renew their teuti. inony against war. While James Thornton was writing this testimony, the cannon shook the house whoro they wtre assembled, and thu air was darkened by tho smoke of guns. War ner Mill! m undertook the service of carrying their testimony lo the opposing Generals, Washington and Howe; and in discharging this duty, he was obliged to walk in blood, and among the dead bodies of those who had fallen in battle, lie performed it, however, with great freedom, and, iu conversation with Washing ton, said expressly : " I am opjmsed to tho Revolution, and to all the changes of govern niont which occasion war and bloodshed.' After Washington was chosen President of the United State, Mifflin went to visit him at Norfolk, and was received with marked respect and kindness. Recollecting what Milllm hud said to him at (iennantown, tho President soldier for the loss of life or limb." Washing ton, after a long pause, replied with much emphasis: " Mr. Mifflin, I know your Ftnti rrents: there is more in their, than mankind have generally considered." Ilow emphati cally true! There is infinitely more in tho cause of peace, in its object, its principles', and measures, than one in an hundred imagino or suspect. The Throne of Mexic o.
